I've tried these types of donuts before, yet it is my first time purchasing from Chido located in Marikina. It is known to be the Hawaiian inspired mochi donut. Carmina had placed an order from Grab Food for 1- Premium (Box of 6) Mochi Donuts in flavors Hazel Nut, Coco the Rabbit, Black Sesame, Oreo, Blueberry and Peanut. The price is PHP 398.00 ($7.11). 1- Classic (Box of 6) flavors of two each Churros, Half Glazed, and Poi (Taro Glazed) for PHP 298.00 ($5.32) not including delivery fee and tip to the rider. The best part it is not too sweet. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Chido Mochi Donuts from Marikina, Philippines. Subscribe & follow @ Carmi...
